The landscape design for this property in an established New York City suburb marries stately elegance with relaxed outdoor living. The greatest challenge of the site was a considerable grade change over a small area (a third of an acre). We replaced overgrown shrubs and crumbling stonework with a clean hardscape design that clearly defines the flow around the property. A long play lawn in front is linked to a sideyard patio space and natural-gas campfire with broad bluestone block steps. A cozy dining terrace behind the house is hugged by a retaining wall that showcases friendly flowering plants and edibles. Set into the terrace wall is a custom water feature that brings sound and movement to the seating area. Exposed ledge in the backyard provides a fun playspace for adventurous kids, with a rope bridge leading to a playhouse.

A complete home remodel, our #AJMBLifeInTheSuburbs project is the perfect Westfield, NJ story of keeping the charm in town. Our homeowners had a vision to blend their updated and current style with the original character that was within their home. Think dark wood millwork, original stained glass windows, and quirky little spaces. The end result is the perfect blend of historical Westfield charm paired with today's modern style.

The exterior of this renovated Media, PA home features new stonework, durable siding, and updated windows that bring modern clarity to a traditional façade. This renovation included full stucco remediation, fresh exterior materials, and two rear additions that expanded the home for large-scale hosting. The result is a welcoming, resilient exterior that sets the tone for the warm, modern spaces inside.

We took this 15-year-old kitchen that was finished in oak stained cabinets and refinished them in BM White Dove and SW Storm Cloud to a modern farmhouse look. Along with that we removed a few upper cabinets to create a buffet style with floating shelves and shiplap on the wall. Also modified the hood and sink cabinet to accommodate a farmhouse sink. Calacatta quartz finishes these cabinets and look off.
